Do you have any objections?
Li Mujun raised her long eyebrows slightly at Li Muchen, seemingly with a provocative air.
Li Muchen, who already had a bad temper, was instantly enraged. He frowned and slammed his chopsticks on the table.
"Seventh Brother, what do you mean? Are you deliberately picking a fight with me over some little girl who just moved in not long ago?"
Li Muchen crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant and squinting at Li Mujun.
In his eyes, Li Mujun was just a little kid.
But little kids are much more reasonable than him.
"You're the one who's deliberately stirring things up!" Li Mujun also put down her chopsticks and retorted without backing down.
“Since Yanbao entered the Li family manor, has she done anything to offend you? Has she said anything to embarrass you? From the beginning, you have been unwelcoming, and after being scolded by your grandfather for touching her personal belongings without her permission, you vented all your resentment and anger on Yanbao.”
Li Mujun stared intently into Li Muchen's eyes, catching a fleeting hint of guilt in her second brother's gaze, and continued to question him:
"Second brother, haven't you always prided yourself on being a real man? So, is it really manly of you to be arguing with a three-and-a-half-year-old girl?"
Suddenly, a strong smell of gunpowder rose from the dining table, as if even the smallest spark could ignite a complete explosion.
Li Muchen was speechless after Li Mujun's words. To be honest, he didn't know why he had such a big grudge against Xiao Xinyan.
To be honest, when his third uncle and aunt first told everyone in the group that they had adopted a daughter, he was quite curious about this unexpected little sister.
Although he verbally expressed his dislike and impatience, he was still charmed by the adorable little pink dumpling.
All the turning points began after he curiously touched the bracelet.
Li Muchen wasn't lying; when he touched the bracelet, he was indeed pricked and it hurt a lot.
But everyone thought he was lying, as if he was deliberately acting to bully that little girl.
From that moment on, Li Muchen completely disliked the younger sister who had suddenly joined their family.
With Liang Xunling's constant encouragement and brainwashing, he unknowingly began to hope, just like his mother, that Xiao Xinyan would leave the Li family.
But does everything he does really seem so inexplicable to others?
For a moment, Li Muchen felt his mind go blank; he couldn't tell what the right thing to do was...
It was as if I was being manipulated by something in the dark...
"If you want to acknowledge her as your sister, then go ahead. I will definitely not treat her as my sister."
Li Muchen snapped out of his daze, snorted at Li Mujun, and said confidently, "My only sister is my cousin from my aunt's side. No one else is worthy of her!"
These are the words Liang Xunling often says to him, and over time she has successfully brainwashed him.
"You don't deserve to be our Yanbao's older brother!" Li Mujun retorted angrily to Li Muchen, and declared with equal conviction, "From now on, I'm not going to call you second brother anymore, hmph!"
She turned her head away haughtily, not wanting to give her stupid second brother another glance.
"you……"
Li Muchen's temples throbbed with anger, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by the Li family patriarch.
"Alright! Are you all full? So full you have nothing better to do? Have you forgotten the rules of the Li family?"
The old man glanced at them, and all seven Calabash Brothers jumped in fright, quickly lowering their heads and daring not to utter a word.
The old man's brow was furrowed, his face showing impatience, and he said somewhat irritably:
"Those who aren't full, hurry up and eat. Those who are full, get out of here. Don't make a fuss in front of me, it's really annoying!"
Before I had my precious granddaughter, seeing these seven gourd brothers was annoying. Now that I have my precious granddaughter, seeing these seven gourd brothers seems even more annoying.
After lunch, the Li family's children gathered in the recreation area. Some read books, some had dessert, some played games, and some watched Ultraman...
Little Yanbao was taken by his eldest and third brothers to dessert after dinner.
Because Liang Xunling did many terrible things to Xiao Yanbao, the eldest brother Li Muxing and the third brother Li Muhao wanted to atone for their mother's sins and do more things that were good for Xiao Yanbao.
Just as Xiao Xinyan picked up a pastry and put it in her mouth to eat, the voice of the Dream Eater suddenly rang in her mind:
【Little Yan Yan, that guy named Li Muchen seems to always be targeting you. Should I teach him a lesson and make him have a really terrible nightmare?】
No...no!
Because her mouth was stuffed with snacks, Xiao Xinyan couldn't speak for the time being. She could only shake her head like a rattle-drum, trying to stop the dream-eating tapir from "doing bad things".
But she seemed to have forgotten that the guy loved to act on his own initiative, just like the previous 'bald guy'.
After swallowing the snack with great difficulty, Xiao Xinyan was about to speak when she realized that the Dream Eater had disappeared from her side.
"..."
Xiao Xinyan was immediately speechless. What kind of weirdos were these?!
Left with no other choice, she had to do what she did last time: subtly remind Li Muchen.
So Xiao Yanbao reached out and picked up a pastry, mustered up her courage and went to Li Muchen, who was playing a game. She handed the pastry to him in a flattering manner and asked cautiously, "Second brother, do you want to eat this?"
